Specific Need Lo2

﻿Analyse the Care Needs of Individuals with Specific Needs. I want to firstly, thank you for attending this meeting today and coming on schedule. Also, I want to appreciate the fact that you have chosen our organisation, out of the lots you have listed, to be the appointed care provider for your father, Mr Holland Park and I promise’ you won’t be disappointed. Ours is a reputable organisation that does things uniquely but according to procedures and sometimes in order to give our patients the best care, we go beyond the books, as we take our jobs seriously and professionally. Our Reputable staffers are skilled and experienced in several fields of care. We are registered several bodies which include NHS-MONITOR etc to help us provide excellent services. We are aware that Mr Holland Park is visually impaired, hearing impaired and though in the early stages of dementia, also exhibits challenging behaviour; Hence, our main reasons for using the Non-Directive Approach of caring for our patients, specifically, ‘’Person Centred Approach’’ (PCA). As, it will take all these conditions into consideration, when designing the care plan. In as much as we strive to achieve equality in our services, as the policy recommends, many of our patients, though, elderly, have several different disabilities and we manage and care for them using the PCA method, as this helps us target the individual patients at the point of their individual needs. The essence of the person-centered approach is that, it is individual to and ‘owned’ by the service user. The ‘’Person Centered Approach’’ recognises, that every person needs support to plan in a way that is meaningful to them and therefore, flexible and innovative to make this a truly inclusive process. Our Practice of PCA method in our organisation is founded on the following basis CONGRUENCE (Authenticity and Realness)

1.1 Explain the importance of meeting an individual’s meeting needs.
Every individual has the right to communication as the Human Rights Act (1998) lists the freedom of expression as well as other rights relating to communication. As a support worker I have a moral obligation as well as adhering to the standards, codes of practice, guidelines, morals and law that govern my practice to ensure that communication needs are met. If an individual’s communication needs are not met then all aspects of their daily life can be affected such as not being able to communicate you are well and get help. This could be more severe in the case of abuse whereby the individual can’t communicate effectively to alert others if they are being abused and can be vulnerable to abuse. The result could also put others in dangers for example if a person’s communication needs were not met and they discovered a fire they would not be able to report it quickly which would put others in danger.

Lighting
People with a hearing or sight impairment need good lighting as they may need to be able to see your face features to see what you are saying to them. (Reading lips).
Distractions
People would not be able to hear you if you are in a busy and noisy area. For example; if you have a few friends and everyone is talking at once the person who can’t hear well won’t be able to hear the conversation.
Positioning
You need to be facing each other so you can read the other persons facial expression and body language. To help understand what they are saying to you.
Barriers
Barriers block are view of the other person and it can impair on us understanding and hearing the person. You can also feel uneasy. For example; when you go to the bank and you have a separated glass in between you.
Space
You don’t want someone to be too close to you as you would feel uncomfortable and uneasy. We need to feel comfortable with the other person to communicate well.

SPECIFICNEEDS OF THE OLDER PERSON
INTRODUCTION
Most people with dementia undergo behavioural changes during the course of the disease. They may become anxious or repeat the same question or activity over and over. The unpredictability of these changes can be stressful for carers. As the disease progresses, your loved one's behaviour may seem inappropriate, childlike or impulsive. Anticipating behavioural changes and understanding the causes can help you deal with them more effectively.
Each person’s experience of dementia is unique and no two people with dementia will experience exactly the same symptoms. Some people may want to know more about their dementia whilst others will not. However, learning more about dementia may help the person deal with the impact that the diagnosis has on his or her life and may enable that person plan for his/her future.
1. What is dementia? What are the physiological and psychological changes that occur for the older person with Dementia?

It affects memory, thinking, orientation, comprehension, calculation, learning capacity, language, and judgement. Consciousness is not affected. The impairment in cognitive function is commonly accompanied, and occasionally preceded, deterioration in emotional control, social...

...getting to know the reason and how individuals keenly look for specific media to meet their particular needs. As opposed to other media theory that seeks to understand what the media do to individuals, UGT seeks to understand what individuals do with media. UGT as argued by McQuail (2010) is an audience-centered means of getting to understand mass communication. The main conceptual and question with UGT is that why do individuals utilize media and what do these individuals use media for.
According to Davenport, LaRose and Straubhaar (2010), UGT tries to clarify the uses and roles of the media for persons, group, and the general public. In developing the UGT, three objectives are outlined. The first regards outlining how one utilizes the mass media to gratify his or her needs. The second objective seeks to find out motives for ones’ media use. The third objective is to outline the advantages as well as the disadvantages for individual use of media communication.
The key underlying assumption with the UGT is the fact that audience members keenly look for the mass media in order to satisfy personal needs. Among other assumptions include the fact that audiences are active and their media usage is goal oriented. The urge in connecting the necessity for gratification to a particular medium selection depends on the audience member. It is also an assumption that the media and other mass media resources compete for...

It is therefore important for the carer to be aware of the individuals preferred method of communication and also to support the individual to use their preferred method. Individuals have the right to communicate through their chosen method and their choice should be acknowledged and respected by supporting them. The individual’s right are particularly important when using specific communication methods and language because it’s their major way of communicating their needs and preferences.
